It seems that Hollywood is starting to catch on to what many viewers already know: Some of the best shows on TV are not on a network; they're streaming over your internet connection. Shows such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black from Netflix have been capturing people's imagination for years, although major awards have often eluded them. But in the first months of 2015, one announcement after another pointed toward a sort of streaming content renaissance.

North Plains Systems Corp., a provider of video and digital asset management (VAM and DAM) solutions, launched TeleScope OnDemand, a hosted DAM solution. TeleScope OnDemand is a digital asset management solution deployed in a hosted, software-as-a-service (SaaS) environment and built on the enterprise-scale TeleScope v8.4 platform. The solution is for organizations that require a fully functional DAM solution without the need to implement an installed solution. National Semiconductor, a producer of high-performance analog devices and subsystems, chose to implement TeleScope OnDemand to take advantage of the features it offers in a hosted environment. TeleScope is currently deployed as a hosted service by many North Plains customers representing the industries of advertising, print & publishing, and media & entertainment.
